Good question (again!)
Yes, I might have been a little vague there!
The goal is focused practice. Now my argument is that we can't do that for a given subject for much longer that 10 or 15 minutes without drifting off.
The subject can vary though, and that's the beauty of it. If you have 2 hours of practice time set aside, it's totally possible to do this -
Dexterity exercises/warm up (10 mins)
Dom7 arpeggios in all 5 positions (10 minutes)
Ear training 7 and 9 chords (10 mins)
Alternate Picking Drills (10 mins)
m7b5 chord practice (10 mins)
Sight Reading (10 mins)
Repeat
This means that you're not working one area for too long - you're working the ears, then the fingers, then the eyes etc, so when you repeat you're fresh on the subject.
Obviously you substitute in what you need
That make sense?
